Table 1 - General Data

Note. Gas consumption is calculated using acalorific value of 38.7 MJ/m3 (1038 Btu/ft3) grossor 34.9 MJ/m3 (935 Btu/ft3) nett

To obtain the gas consumption at a differentcalorific value:

a. For l/s - divide the gross heat input (kW) bythe gross C.V. of the gas (MJ/m3)

b. For ft3/h - divide the gross heat input (Btu/h)by the gross C.V. of the gas (Btu/ft3)

c. For m3/h - multiply l/s by 3.6.

GENERAL

INTRODUCTIONThe Keston 30C boiler is a wall mounted, full sequence,automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned flue, highefficiency, condensing, combination gas boiler.

Note. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of watervapour will form at the terminal during operation.

Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of6.1 to 24.2kW (20,700 to 82,600 Btu/h)

Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fullymodulating with a maximum of 30.3kW (103,300 Btu/h)

The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heatexchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge,safety valve and CH expansion vessel.

Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on theuser control and the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.

The boiler includes as standard:- Automatic bypass- Boiler frost protection- Daily pump and diverter valve exercise.

The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel.

The boiler temperature controls are visible located in thecontrol panel on the front of the boiler.

The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.

The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealedheating systems ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completelydraining the system by provision of drain cocks MUST beprovided in the installation pipework.

Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards.

OPERATIONWith no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawnoff, or periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, inorder to maintain the DHW calorifier in a heated condition. Thisonly occurs if pre-heat knob is in the ‘ON’ period.

When there is a demand for CH, the heating system issupplied at the selected temperature of between 30oC and80oC, until DHW is drawn off. The full output from the boiler isthen directed via the diverter valve to the plate heat exchanger tosupply a nominal DHW draw-off of 12.4 l/min at 35 oCtemperature rise.

The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that theboiler flow regulator will give. Due to system variations andseasonal temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperaturerise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap.

At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limitedto 64 oC by the modulating gas control.

The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system whichgives detailed information on the boiler status when operating,and performance of key components to aid commissioning andfault finding.

SAFE HANDLINGThis boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to itsinstallation site, remove it from its packaging base and duringmovement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boilermay include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushingand pulling.

Caution should be exercised during these operations.

Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniqueswhen performing these tasks and the following precautionsshould be considered:

• Grip the boiler at the base.• Be physically capable.• Use personal protective equipment as appropriate, e.g.

8 Keston 30C - Installation and Servicing

GENERAL

GAS SUPPLYThe local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installationplanning stage, in order to establish the availability of anadequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT beused without prior consultation with the local gas supplier.

The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governedmeter only.

A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier orby a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. In IE by a Registered GasInstaller (RGII).

An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gassupplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with therate of gas supply required.

It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gasInstaller to size the gas installation pipework in accordancewith BS6891:2005. Whilst the principle of the 1:1 gas valveensures the Keston 30C is able to deliver its full output at inletpressures as low as 14mb, other gas appliances in theproperty may not be as tolerant. When operating pressures arefound to be below the minimum meter outlet of 19mb theseshould be checked to ensure this is adequate for correct andsafe operation.

Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across theinstallation pipework, it can be assumed that a minimumpermitted operating pressure of 18mb will be delivered to theinlet of the appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2Pressure Absorption).

The integral appliance isolation valve and boiler pipeworkcould further reduce the operating pressure by up to 1.5mbwhen measured at the inlet test point on the appliance gasvalve. Therefore it has been identified that an operatingpressure as low as 16.5mbar could be measured at theappliance inlet pressure test point on the gas valve.

IMPORTANT.Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891. InIE refer to IS.813:2002.

The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightnessand purged as described in the above code.

WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEMIMPORTANT.A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted toboth flow and return connections from the boiler beforeconnection to any plastic piping.

The central heating system should be in accordance withBS.6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microboresystems, BS.5449.

WATER TREATMENT - see Frame 5

BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKSCentral heating systems controls should be installed to ensurethe boiler is switched off when there is no demand for heating,in compliance with Building Regulations.

Heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve controlof temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with aroom thermostat controlling the temperature in a space servedby radiators not fitted with such a valve.

When thermostatic radiator valves are used, the space heatingtemperature control over a living / dining area or hallway havinga heating requirement of at least 10% of the minimum boilerheat output should be achieved using a room thermostat,whilst other rooms are individually controlled by thermostaticradiator valves. However, if the system employs thermostaticradiator valves on all radiators, or two port valves, then abypass circuit must be fitted with an automatic bypass valve toensure a flow of water should all valves be in the closedposition.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLYWARNING.This appliance must be earthed.Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance withthe current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and any localregulations which apply. For IE reference should be made tothe current ETCI rules for electrical installations.

The mains supply to the boiler and system wiring centre shallbe through one common fused double pole isolator and fornew heating systems, and where practical replacement boilerinstallations, the isolator shall be situated adjacent to theappliance.

CONDENSATE DRAINRefer to Frames 15, 25 & 48

A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain mustbe connected to a drainage point on site. All pipework andfittings in the condensate drainage system MUST be made ofplastic - no other materials may be used.

IMPORTANT.Any external runs must be in accordance with BS 6798.

The drain outlet on the boiler is sized for standard 21.5mm (3/4”)overflow pipe. It is a universal fitting to allow use of differentbrands of pipework.

GENERAL

General

1. The installation must comply with all relevant national andlocal regulations.

2. The installation should be designed to work with flowtemperatures of up to 86

oC.

3. All components of the system must be suitable for a workingpressure of 3 bar and temperature of 110

oC. Extra care should

be taken in making all connections so that the risk of leakageis minimised.

The following components are incorporated within theappliance:

a. Circulating pump.

b. Safety valve, with a non-adjustable preset lift pressure of 3 bar.

c. Pressure gauge, covering a range of 0 to 4 bar.

d. An 8-litre expansion vessel, with an initial charge pressureof 0.75 bar.

4. 'Make-up' Water. Provision must be made for replacing waterloss from the system, either :

a. From a manually filled 'make-up' vessel with a readilyvisible water level. The vessel should be mounted atleast 150mm above the highest point of the system andbe connected through a non-return valve to the system,fitted at least 150mm below the 'make-up' vessel on thereturn side of the radiators. or

b. Where access to a 'make-up' vessel would be difficult, bypre-pressurisation of the system.

The maximum cold water capacity of the system shouldnot exceed 143 litres, if not pressurized. However, if thesystem is to be pressurized, the efficiency of theexpansion vessel will be reduced and a larger vessel(or smaller system volume) may be necessary. If thecapacity of the vessel is not considered sufficient forthis, or for any other reason, an additional vessel MUSTbe installed on the RETURN to the boiler.

Guidance on vessel sizing is given in Table above.

Notes

a. The method of filling, refilling, topping up or flushing sealedprimary hot water circuits from the mains via a temporary hoseconnection is only allowed if acceptable to the local waterauthority.

b. Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitablefor use with boilers having aluminium heat exchangers maybe used in the central heating system.

GENERAL

The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some radiators on the heating circuit, of load of at least 10% of theminimum boiler output, must be provided with twin lockshield valves so that this minimum heating load is always available.See note regarding thermostatic radiator valves on page 8.

Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could completely cut off the flow through the system must also include abypass.

4 SYSTEM BALANCING

BALANCING1. Set the programmer to ON.

Close the manual or thermostatic valves on allradiators, leaving the twin lockshield valves (on theradiators referred to above) in the OPEN position.

Turn up the room thermostat and adjust the lockshieldvalve to give an uninterrupted flow through the radiator.

These valves should now be left as set.

3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - CH (continued) and Hot Water

DOMESTIC HOT WATER1. The domestic hot water service must be in accordance

with BS 5546 and BS 6700.

2. Refer to Table 1 for minimum and maximum workingpressures. In areas of low mains water pressures thedomestic hot water regulator may be removed from theDHW flow turbine cartridge. Refer to Frame 76. The boilerwill require the flow rate to be set to obtain a temperaturerise of 35oC at the tap furthest from the boiler.

3. The boiler is suitable for connection to most types ofwashing machine and dishwasher appliances.

4. When connecting to suitable showers, ensure that:

a. The cold inlet to the boiler is fitted with an approvedanti-vacuum or syphon non-return valve.

b. Hot and cold water supplies to the shower are of equalpressure.

5. Hard Water AreasWhere the water hardness exceeds 200mg/litre, it isrecommended that a proprietary scale reducing device isfitted into the boiler cold supply within the requirements ofthe local water company.

IMPORTANTProvision MUST be made to accommodate the expansion ofDHW contained within the appliance, if a non-return valve isfitted to the DHW inlet, or a water meter with a non-return valveis installed.

2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves andadjust the lockshield valves on the remaining radiators,to give around 20oC temperature drop at each radiator.

3. Adjust the room thermostat and programmer toNORMAL settings.

2. If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitableadditives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing. BS7593:2006 details the steps necessary to clean a domesticheating system.

3. In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may benecessary - however the use of artificially softened water isNOT permitted.

4. Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired beforethe system has been thoroughly flushed.

DOMESTIC HOT WATERIn hard water areas where mains water can exceed200ppm Total Hardness (as defined by BS 7593:2006 Table2) a scale reducing device should be fitted into the boilercold supply within the requirements of the local watercompany. The use of artificially softened water, however, isnot permitted.Keston recommend the use of Fernox Quantomat, SentinelCombiguard and Calmag CalPhos I scale reducingdevices, which must be used in accordance with themanufacturers' instructions.

MAXIMUM LENGTHSThe maximum lengths of both air inlet pipe and flue outlet pipe,when no bends are used, are as detailed in fig.2b.

However, each bend used has an equivalent length that must bededucted from the maximum straight length stated in fig. 2b.Knuckle bends must not be fitted.

A 92.5º swept elbow is equivalent to 1.0m straight length. A 45ºbend is equivalent to 0.5m straight length.

It is possible to have variable flue and air lengths as detailedbelow.

Fig. 2b

(does not include allowance for elbow on top of boiler)

Example (assuming 50mm muPVC flue and air pipework)

Air inlet uses two 92.5º swept elbows. Hence, maximum lengthpermissible (i.e. a+b in fig. 2a) = 22m - 1m - 1m = 20m.

Flue outlet uses one 92.5º swept elbow. Hence, maximumlength permissible (i.e. c+d in fig. 2a)= 22m - 1m = 21m).

But maximum total flue and air intake must not exceed 19m inthe examples above.

Boiler Output Vs Flue Length

Due to the resistance presented by extended flue length a slightreduction in maximum boiler output will occur where combinedflue and air lengths in excess of 16.0m (50mm muPVC) areused. In such cases the boiler output will be reduced by 1.0%per additional metre.

9 FLUE SYSTEMNote. When installing a replacement boiler a new fluesystem must be used. Do not re-use the existing boiler flueinstallation.

DESIGNIndividual air supply and flue outlet pipes are used asstandard, although a concentric flue kit is available as anoptional extra.

The material used for flue outlet &/or air inlet must bemuPVC (PVC-C) to BS 5255 and/or BSEN 1566-1 and BSEN1329 of an internal diameter of 51mm. (i.e. nominal 50mmdiameter muPVC solvent weld waste pipe).

Marley muPVC (PVC-C) Solvent Weld Waste System(50mm) and Polypipe System 2000 muPVC (PVC-C) solventweld waste (50mm) are the only systems approved for thisapplication.

09 FLUE SYSTEM.... CONT’D

SLOPE‘Horizontal’ flue outlet pipework MUST slope at least 2 degrees(32mm per metre run) downwards towards the boiler. Pipeworkcan be vertical. Only swept elbows can be used.

Air inlet pipework can be truly horizontal or vertical, or sloping ina downward direction towards the boiler but in each case rain,etc., must be prevented from entering the pipe. There must beno troughs in any of the pipework, whether it be air inlet orflue outlet.

Due to the low temperature of the flue gases furthercondensate will form within the flue system. Drain points, withsuitable traps, must therefore be incorporated within the fluesystem at the base of the vertical flue sections in excess of 6m,for 50mm muPVC pipe flue systems. These additionalcondensate drains must be run to discharge. Such drain pointscan be formed using standard muPVC fittings. Refer to fig. 3.

TERMINATIONSAir inlet terminals must be facing horizontally or downwards toprevent entry of rain into the terminal and positioned to ensureonly fresh air is drawn into the boiler. The air terminal must belocated outside of the building. Flue terminals must bepositioned so that flue products are not drawn into the air inlet.Site specific wind conditions should be considered to achievethis. Drawing of combustion air directly from a ventilated boilerroom invalidates the heat exchanger warranty.

The flue outlet terminal is designed to face outwards and mustnot be directed in the region of the air inlet. The flue terminaland air inlet terminal can be located on different, but notopposing wall faces.

The two terminals are subject to the requirements of BS 5440Pt 1 for clearances from features of the building although somecan be decreased to the values indicated.

The Keston 30C, as with any condensing boiler, will generate acondensate “plume” from the flue terminal in all weatherconditions. Consideration must therefore be given to the effectof this “plume” when selecting a location for the flue terminal. Itis the responsibility of the installer to ensure the selectedterminal location does not cause nuisance.

If either the air inlet or flue outlet terminate at a height of lessthan 2.1m above ground level, the terminal must be protectedby a suitable guard. The K6 terminal guard (with plasticcoating), manufactured by Tower Flue Components Ltd issuitable for this purpose.

*The dimensions given in the table above may need to beincreased to avoid wall staining and nuisance depending onsite conditions.

CLEARANCES FROM WALLFlue outlet and air inlet terminations must be at least 40mmfrom the wall face.

DISTANCE BETWEEN FLUE OUTLET & AIRINLETThere is no maximum - the terminations must not be onopposite sides of the dwelling but can be in areas of unequalpressure.

A minimum clearance of at least 500mm must be left betweenthe terminations otherwise a 90º elbow MUST be fitted to airinlet and pointed towards the ground. The absolute minimumclearance between the flue and air terminals is 100mm.

GENERAL INSTALLATIONSAll parts of the system must be constructed in accordance withBS 5440 Part 1, except where specifically mentioned in theseinstructions.

All pipework must be adequately supported.

All joints other than approved push-on or plastic compressionconnectors must be made and sealed with solvent cementsuitable for muPVC pipes and conforming to BS 6209: 1982.

Consideration must be given to Corgi/Gas Safe bulletin TB200/TB008 regarding flues in voids.

The boiler casing must always be correctly fitted to the boilerwhen leaving the appliance operational.

External wall faces and any internal faces of cavity walls mustbe good.

Rubber collars are available for flue and air terminals to finishthe external wall face around the terminals (Part NoC.08.00.07.0).

AIR SUPPLYThe Keston 30C is a room sealed appliance and thereforedoes not require purpose provided ventilation to the boiler roomfor combustion air.

COMPARTMENT INSTALLATIONDue to the low casing temperatures generated by the boiler, nocompartment ventilation is required. However, the cupboard orcompartment must not be used for storage.

10 INSTALLING THE BOILERInstallation of the boiler is straightforward but consideration must be given to access to allow flue and air pipes to be pushedthrough walls and ceilings. The order in which the components are installed will depend upon particular site conditions, but ingeneral it will be easiest and most accurate to install the boiler and then build up the flue outlet and air inlet pipes to the terminal- this is the sequence described.

The wall mounting template is located on the internalprotective packaging.

Note.The template shows the positions of the fixing holes andthe position that the twin flue box is located. Care MUSTbe taken to ensure the correct holes are drilled.

1. Tape template into the selected position. Ensuresquareness by hanging a plumbline as shown.

2. Mark onto the wall the following:

a The wall mounting plate screw positions (choose onefrom each group).

b The position of the air and flue when exiting straight outof the wall where the boiler is mounted.

Note. Mark the centre of the hole as well as thecircumference.

3. Remove the template from the wall.

IMPORTANT.

Ensure that, during the cutting operation, masonry fallingoutside of the building does not cause damage or personalinjury.

1. Cut the flue and air holes (preferably with 60mm corebore tool) ensuring the holes are square to the wall.

2. Drill 2 holes with a 7.5mm / 8mm masonry drill andinsert the plastic plugs, provided, for the wall mountingplate.

3. Locate 2 No.14 x 50mm screws in the wall mountingplate (one at each side, in any of the 3 holes provided ateach side) and screw home.

15 CONDENSATE DRAIN

Ensure that the siphon is full of water beforecommissioning the boiler. Refer to Frame 26.

The routing of the drain must be made to allow aminimum fall of 1 in 20 away from the boiler, throughoutits length.

The drainage pipework must be arranged so thatobstruction (e.g. through freezing) of external drainagepipe does not give rise to spillage within the dwelling.

IMPORTANT.All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain systemmust be made of plastic. No other materials may beused.

The drain outlet on the boiler is standard 21.5mmoverflow pipe and is suitable for either push fit orsolvent weld applications. This size must not bereduced in any part of its length.

The boiler includes as standard, a 75mm condensatetrap. The condensate trap also includes a siphon toreduce the possibility of freezing in the drain outlet.

If external condensate pipe is used then the pipeshould be 32mm nominal diameter. Considerationshould be given to insulating external condensate piperuns.

Preventdust entering the air intake when cutting on building sites.Blower failure which is determined to be caused by plasticfilings or other debris will not be covered by guarantee.

INSTALLING FLUE AND AIR PIPES ONTOTHE TWIN FLUE BOXImportant - When installing the boiler on an existing system anew flue and air intake system MUST also be installed. YouMUST NOT re-use existing flue or air pipework components.

• Remove the twin flue box from Pack 2b supplied withthe boiler.

• Remove boiler front panel - Frame 45

• Position flue box on top of the boiler (see diagram)

• Clamp onto boiler using horseshoe clamp provided inboiler packaging box.

• Fix box to the boiler top panel using 6 x M5 screwsprovided.

• Measure, cut and check the air and flue pipes to pass tothe exit from the wall(s) or ceiling.

• Always thoroughly deburr all pipes and mostimportant, remove shavings from within the pipe.

• Assemble, using solvent weld cement, the pipeworkfrom the boiler connections to the exit from the first wall/ceiling, (remount the boiler if removed). When pushingpipe through walls, ensure grit and dust is not allowedto enter the pipe.

Ensure pipes are fully engaged into sockets andsolvent welded with no leaks.

• Using the same methods drill any further holes (alwayscovering existing pipework), cut and assemble thepipework.

• From outside, complete the two terminations - SeeFrame 9 Flue System and make good all holes. (Wallsealing collars are available to make good hole areason the wall face (part number C.08.0.00.07.0).

• Support any pipes whose route could be displacedeither of its own accord or by accident. Any horizontalrun over 1m or vertical runs of any length must alwaysbe supported. Brackets should be placed at intervalsof approximately 1m. Brackets should be looseenough on the pipe to allow thermal expansion andcontraction movement.

• Flue pipework through walls MUST be sleeved to allowthermal expansion and contraction movement.

• Check all connections for security and re-seal any jointsusing solvent cement where soundness may be indoubt.

Note. It is equally important to seal the air inlet with solventcement as the flue outlet pipe joints.

33 REPLACING PRE-FITTED MAINS CABLE

If it is necessary to use an alternative mains cable to the one pre-fitted then use the following guide.

Replacement wiring should comply with notes in Frame 31.

1. Isolate the mains supply to the boiler.

2. Remove the front panel. Refer to Frame 44.

3. Swing the control box down into the service position. Refer toframe 50.

4. Remove the live, neutral and earth wires from the terminal block.

5. Loosen the cable clamp and withdraw the mains cable.

6. Route replacement cable back through the cable clamp andgrommet and re-tighten to provide cord anchorage.

7. Connect the live, neutral and earth wires to the terminal strip.

When making the mains electrical connections to the boiler it isimportant that the wires are prepared in such a way that theearth conductor is longer than the current carrying conductors,such that if the cord anchorage should slip, the current carryingconductors become taut before the earthing conductor.

8. Swing the control box back up into the operating position andre-fit the front panel ensuring a good seal is made.

34 FITTING THE WEATHER COMPENSATION KIT - SUPPLIED AS STANDARD

This kit provides the facility to apply outside air temperature control to the boiler water flow temperature which providesenergy savings. The outside sensor provided measures outside air temperature and sends a signal to the boiler, whichadjusts the maximum boiler flow temperature in response. If outside air temperature is greater than the system designtemperature, the boiler flow temperature is reduced providing running cost savings. The boiler will operate in thecondensing mode more frequently increasing savings.

Once the sensor is fitted it is automatically detected.

The sensor operation may be configured by adjustment of the boiler operating parameters, if necessary.

36 CH OPERATION

The On and Off time control of central heating should be controlled by a separate timer. This can be a standard unit or eitherof the options available from Keston 30C range.

During programmed On times the Central Heating Radiator Flow Temperature is controlled by the boiler relative to theOutside Temperature as shown in the following diagram.

The Room temperature can be adjusted using the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob on the boiler as follows.Essentially rotating the knob clockwise increases the room temperature and rotating the knob anti-clockwise decreases theroom temperature.

If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is rotated fully clockwise then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C a FlowTemperature of 40°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 78°C will be provided withthe relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph 2.5)

If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is in its mid position then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C a FlowTemperature of 36°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 65°C will be provided withthe relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph between 1.6 and 1.8)

If the Central Heating Temperature Control Knob is rotated fully anti-clockwise then for an Outside Temperature of 15°C aFlow Temperature of 30°C will be provided. For an Outside Temperature of 0°C a Flow Temperature of 44°C will be providedwith the relationship varying lineally in between these 2 points (line on the graph 1.0)

41 GENERAL CHECKS

DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW) MODE1. Fully open all DHW taps in turn and ensure that water

flows freely and that the mode knob is either in summeror winter position. The boiler will display

“Hot Water” - “Temperature XXoC” - “HighEfficiency”

where the temperature shown is the current DomesticHot Water temperature.

When the burner is lit the light above the display will beon.

2. Close all taps except the furthest one from the boiler andcheck that the boiler is firing at maximum rate.

This is factory set to give a DHW temperature rise ofapproximately 35oC at the flow rate stated on page 6 under“operation”.

3. Reduce the DHW draw-off rate to about 3 l/min (0.7gpm)and check that the boiler modulates to deliver DHW atapproximately 64oC (with the DHW temperature controlknob set to maximum).

4. Close the DHW tap and check that the main burnerextinguishes. The pump should overrun for 60 secondsduring which the boiler will display “Pump overrun”.The fan will then continue to run for a further 3 minutesduring which the boiler will display “Fan Post Purge”after which the boiler will display one of the following“Standby mode” - “Summer mode” - “WinterMode” depending on the position of the mode knob.

Note. On systems in excess of 2 bar inlet pressure a waterpressure governor may be required to prevent water noise.

Make the following checks for correct operation in:

CH & DHW MODE1. Ensure the CH controls are calling for heat and that the

boiler mode knob is in the winter position and the CH flowtemperature control knob is in the maximum position. TheBoiler will display

“Central Heating” - “Radiator Temp XXC”

where the temperature shown is the current flowtemperature.

When the burner is lit the light above the display will be on.

2. Fully open the DHW tap and check that hot water isdelivered. The boiler will display “Hot water” -Temperature XXoC” - High Efficiency”

3. Gas Rate

Check the boiler gas rate when the boiler is at full DHWoutput. Check at the gas meter, with no other appliance inuse. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for gas rates.

4. Close the DHW tap. The burner should remain on and the boilerwill display “Central heating” - “Radiator temp XXC”.

5. Set the central heating external controls to off. The burnerwill go off and the fan and pump continue to run for 4minutes. The boiler will display “Pump overrun” after whichthe boiler will display one of the following: “Standby mode”- “Summer mode” - “Winter mode” depending on theposition of the mode knob.

6. Check the correct operation of the timer (if fitted) and allother system controls. Operate each control separately andcheck that the main burner responds.

WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM

1. With the system COLD, check that the initialpressure is correct to the system designrequirements.

For pre-pressurised systems, this should be 1.0bar.

2. With the system HOT, examine all waterconnections for soundness. The system pressurewill increase with temperature rise but should notexceed 2.5 bar.

3. With the system still hot, turn off the gas, water andelectricity supplies to the boiler and drain down tocomplete the flushing process.

Note: A flushing solution should be used during theflushing procedure. Flushing solutions: FernoxSuperfloc, Sentinel X300 (new systems) or X400(existing systems). Refer to Frame 5.

4. Refill and vent the system, add inhibitor (seeFrame 5), clear all air locks and again check forwater soundness.

5. Reset the system initial pressure to the designrequirement.

WATER TEMPERATURES

Temperatures can be selected using the CH and DHW thermostats.

Knob Setting CH Flow Temp DHW Outlet TempoC (oF) oC (oF)

Max 80 (176) 64 (147)

Min 30 (86) 40 (104)

6. Balance the system. Refer to Frame 4.

7. Check the condensate drain for leaks and check that it isdischarging correctly.

8. Finally, set the controls to the User's requirements.

Notes.

1. If the pump has not operated in the last 24 hours it will runbriefly to prevent seizure

2. If the diverter valve has not operated in the last 24 hours itwill be operated briefly to prevent seizure. These twooperations will not occur at the same time.

Note. The temperature displayed “XXºC” is thatmeasured at that moment, not the set temperature.
